LP Building Solutions (LP) announced more than $875,000 in monetary and product donations in 2023 through the LP Foundation and other corporate giving initiatives. The LP Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, runs five philanthropic programs: Community Grants, Disaster Relief, Team Member Nonprofit Board Sponsorships, Team Member Giving Matches, and its Gary Sinise Foundation partnership. Celebrating its 50th year, the LP Foundation supported more than 80 nonprofit organizations and public schools.
In the second year of partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation, LP and the LP Foundation helped welcome four severely wounded heroes and their families to specially adapted, mortgage-free smart technology homes. For Veterans Day, LP and the Gary Sinise Foundation arranged an on-field salute to retired U.S. Army Sergeant Josh Hargis, honored as Hero of the Day at the Tennessee Titans Salute to Service game. The Hargis family’s future home will be completed in 2024 with support from LP and LP Foundation.
“On behalf of our founder Gary Sinise, we are so grateful for our partnership with the LP Foundation and for their commitment to honor our nation’s veterans, first responders, heroes, and defenders,” said Jim Ravella, senior vice president of programs for the Gary Sinise Foundation. “Their generous support allows us to reach even more of our nation’s most severely wounded heroes and their families who have sacrificed so much by building specially adapted smart homes that help our remarkable heroes regain their freedom and independence.”
The LP Foundation also continued its long-standing partnerships with Habitat for Humanity, Rebuilding Together, and the Hard Bargain Association (HBA) in 2023.
